SpongeJet – Low Dust Blasting Systems
Superior Results — Saving Time And Money
Achieve sustainable, safe, environmentally-responsible and superior surface preparation. Sponge-Jet’s unique technology allows contractors, managers and engineers to change from costly outdated processes and improve coating performance.
- Save time
- Increase plant equipment reliability
- Protect sensitive assets
- Increase coating life
- Reduce total project cost
- Reduce water consumption
- Low Dust
General corrosion projects, production-oriented facilities, unique substrates or challenging safety environments can benefit from the clean, dry non-invasive capabilities of sponge blasting. The elimination of damaging ricochet in addition to achieving near perfect operator visibility, up to 95% waste reduction and up to a 98% hazardous dust reduction – can yield savings in nearly every aspect of a project.
Sponge-Jet is considered by many to be the best choice in low dust blasting. At 98% less dust than traditional abrasive blasting media, Sponge Media™ can be your low dust alternative for surface preparation.
Industries and Applications
- Control the Airborne Emission of Hazardous Surface Contaminants and Coatings
- New High Productions Systems
– Nozzle production comparable with sand and coal slag
– Automatic vacuum recovery, recycling and reloading - Improved Safety
– Confined spaces are safer due to low rebound and high visibility
– Decreased dust levels means lower worker exposure
– Worker safety is enhanced due to high visibility and lower fatigue
– Risks such as skin abrasion and eye injury may be reduced - Reduce Total Job Costs
– less freight
– less disposal
– less containment and air management
– less clean-up
– virtually eliminates facility damage
due to low dust and low rebound - Less Down Time
– Other trades can work during the blasting process
– Nearby process equipment can continue to operate
– Reduce total job time with less staging and cleanup - Near perfect visibility
– No waiting for the dust to settle
– Inspect during the blasting process
– Enhanced visibility lessons the likelihood of rework
Sponge-Jet Media- Silver 30
This is the most commonly used Sponge Media for industrial coating removal and surface preparation. Silver 30 Sponge Media is ideal when a coarse angular profile is specified for the coating that is to be applied.Sponge impregnated with 30-grit Aluminum Oxide to aggressively abrade and profile metals, concrete and other materials. Part Number: SJS30
Silver 60 Sponge Media™
This Sponge Media product is the 2nd most commonly used for industrial coating removal and surface preparation. It is ideal when a moderate, angular profile is specified for the coating to be applied.
Sponge impregnated with 60-grit Aluminum Oxide to abrade and profile metals, concrete and other materials. Part Number: SJS60
White Sponge: The best choice for tough coatings on sensitive surfaces. Sponge-Jet White Sponge Media, with plastic chip abrasive, is designed for coatings removal from sensitive substrates. White Media can remove tough coatings from tile, composites, fiberglass and many other exotic or sensitive substrates without the surface damage, dust, slurry or waste of other methods. White Sponge Media is an excellent choice for graffiti removal, used in aerospace, military and historic restoration applications, it can perform a surprising amount of work.
Green Sponge: The flexible cleaner for tough industrial jobs. Mildly abrasive Green Sponge Media is best at cleaning grease and oil from high value machinery and removing smoke and soot damage from brick, concrete and other hard substrates. Green Media is well suited for cleaning tasks where nooks, crannies, hoses or fittings make hand cleaning difficult or impossible. Residue from manufacturing processes can be removed while protecting the safety of your workers and equipment. With production rates up to 10 square feet per minute, Green Sponge Media significantly cut labor costs for many cleaning tasks.
